I have a Brother QL-700 label printer that is functioning under Windows and Linux. However, everything printed to it under Linux comes out about 20% smaller than when printed from Windows. I have tested this printing things both from Chrome and Inkscape, in both cases where the image to be printed is carefully crafted to fit the label precisely. Does anyone have experience with this, and have any idea how to stop the Linux QL-700 driver from shrinking the image?
On the left, printed with Windows. On the right, Linux. Same content, both using Chrome.
